Join us in the Memorial Room following our 9:30AM service for a discussion of The Science of the Good Samaritan: Thinking Bigger about Loving our Neighbors by Emily Smith

Thanks to Rosemary Hughes for this recommendation. Emily Smith is an epidemiologist (a field close to my heart since a dear family member is also one). She’s the person who was catapulted to internet fame (with all the attendant horrors) for her Facebook page, “The Friendly Neighbor Epidemiologist.” She’s also a Christian, and this book represents her practical, ethical, and theological thinking about the Second Great Commandment in light of her research as a scientist, and her experience of the pandemic. The Science of the Good Samaritan is published by Zondervan. (JRS - April edition of “The Apostle” newsletter).

You are welcome to join us whether you have finished the book, or not even yet started reading!

Join us in the Memorial Room following our 9:30AM service for a discussion of Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson

You read my descriptions of the first two books and began to wonder if the common thread was “terrible diseases,” but that would be false. The common thread is “incredibly smart and talented women whose written work deals with faith but does not try to silo faith and religion from all the richness and variousness of life.” Marilynne Robinson is widely acclaimed as one of America’s greatest living novelists and essayists. Her books include Housekeeping, Gilead, and Home. She retired from teaching at the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, after doing much to make it one of the most prestigious writing programs in the country. She is also a committed Christian and writes about her faith brilliantly. Her newest book, just published to wide acclaim, is Reading Genesis. It promises to be a fascinating and rollicking interpretation of the book of Genesis that presents the text in all its richness, without falling into the fundamentalisms of either academic higher criticism, or anti-intellectual literalism with all its crazy baggage about Creation vs. Evolution and what happened to the dinosaurs. Reading Genesis is published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. (JRS - April edition of “The Apostle” newsletter).

“Beginning of Summer” Picnic

Please join us on Sunday, May 26, for our Beginning of Summer Picnic following the 10:00am service. It's always fun to get together, and this cookout is definitely one of the highlights of our Fellowship year. 

The Fellowship Mission will provide burgers (beef, some turkey and some veggie burgers), hotdogs, rolls, cheese, and condiments. We will also provide beverages: water, iced tea and sodas. Our Grill Master says, “Everyone should come hungry as the burgers will be hot and ready to eat when they step out of church."

Join us in the Memorial Room following the 10AM service for a discussion of The Corner that Held Them by Sylvia Townsend Warner

Sylvia Warner was a remarkable English writer and musicologist who died in the 1970s. She’s most known for her super weird and witchy proto-feminist novel, Lolly Willowes. A Corner that Held Them, first published in 1948, is equally eccentric and unlike any novel before or after it. It is set in a convent in medieval England during a time marked by outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague. It’s about the seemingly boring—but actually fascinating (no really!)—lives of the residents of the convent over the course of centuries.  It’s going to be a total hoot, but don’t get too attached to any one character...  A Corner that Held Them (and Lolly Willowes) has been reprinted in a beautiful paperback by the NYRB Classics, which is probably my favorite publishing endeavor. They really know how to make a paperback.  (JRS - April edition of “The Apostle” newsletter).
